Tempers rising in the #UNSC when German ambassador Heusgen criticises #China (quote shortened): "We worked hard to uphold the respect for #HumanRights law. Our Russian and Chinese colleagues didn’t make a secret of their disapproval of such a transparent approach."
Heusgen subsequently appeals to 🇨🇳to release Michael Kovrig & Michael Spavor. "Their cases are not singular, they represent so many others." Not surprisingly, Chinese deputy envoy Geng Shuang was not amused & expressed his joy about 🇩🇪 leaving the council.

China decided to be #carbonneutral by 2060. Much of its industry still depends on #coal and millions of jobs could be lost. Local governments and companies now start to get creative to find alternative solutions - can the coal industry go green?

Relations between #China and #Pakistan are mainly grounded on political alliance against India. Now, China jumps to support Pakistan in a spat with Saudi-Arabia.

'No children, no ring': anti-marriage activists in #China are increasingly vocal. A similar trend can be seen in #Korea.
How did the discourse between living a life as the ideal housewife or rejecting family life alltogether become so influential?

Facial recognition is on the rise in #China's private sector. Especially real estate agents secretly record potential buyers on camera. They in turn wear helmets to protect their #privacy. But why do companies use #FacialRecognition?
